You could try Brett at Undercar on Hayton Road, they do all that drum brake shit day in day out. We get our work stuff done there, relines & skims.
Not a seized piston on the left rear? Note that that tyre is half the tread depth of the other side, were they fitted as a pair?
Identify your target beyond all doubt
I've seen the left rear tyre wearing at at higher rate than the right rear before, normally in conjunction with chopping the inside of the front left. I've put it down to travelling on rural heavily cambered roads where there isnt a mechanical issue causing it. I would have thought if it was a seized cylinder the opposite tyre would show the wear though, especially with an open diff??? Dunno, be interesting to find out if that is the case.
Cruisers have a mongrel rear drum brake setup, I’d go full tit in revers and rip handbrake on or stomp on brakes a few times, that will reseat them in position properly, then adjust them up to tire and 3 clicks off. Then try them out. Failing that I’d take drums off and have a look. That’s the easiest quickest way. They have a funny leading and trailing setup in them, and if use hand brake ib 4wd tends to pull shoes out of balance. If i was close I’d do it for you. Redone so many brakes on them it’d be done within a stubby per side. Cool model cruiser you got too
Just...say...the...word
Yeah, the bloody Cardan shaft brake. Prick of an idea, had the WoF man up about slapping one of my Safari's around by testing it on their brake machine. Found out he wrote one off the next day doing the exact same thing, slow learner. Bloody expensive repair as I understand it, wrote off the driveshaft! That park brake setup is only to be used when stationary or in an emergency situation, not a great design to be brutally honest.
Had the mobile brake guy around, sounds like he made some adjustments. Just need to take it in for recheck
Sorry mate, didn’t realise yu still had the driveshaft park brake setup. I thought you had drum mounted set up from the imbalance part. Ignore my post. Them driveshaft cardan setups are crap, and deadly, same as the stupid telmar brake system they use on some euro trucks. I have a few horror stories from their failures.
